Chapter 132: Mockery
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "To be honest, sister, I'm confused too. I don't know when I offended that person!"
"Do you know who it is?" asked Miss He Er.
Yuan Ziyou nodded and said, "It's almost right!"
"Oh my God!" Miss Zhang San frowned and said angrily, "That person is too vicious. He actually ruined your reputation with just one move. Sister Yuan, why don't you tell the princess and let her help you get justice."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Don't bother me, Princess. I can handle this myself. But Sister Zhang, can you please tell me what the rumor is about?"
"You don't know?" Miss Zhang San asked with her eyes wide open.
"Well, I just know the general idea, not very clearly!" Yuan Ziyu shrugged and said.
"Ah!" Miss Zhang San frowned and said, "The person who spread the rumor is really vicious. He actually said that you went to Fatan Temple two days ago and had a secret meeting with someone in the peach forest, and even... even..."
"What else?"
"Also..." Miss Zhang San seemed to be unable to speak, and finally her voice became a little lower: "They said you were having an affair with someone..."
Yuan Ziyu narrowed his eyes. Okay, very good. Since the other party has done such a ruthless thing, if I still swallow my anger, wouldn’t I be accepting it with a pinch of my nose?
Huo Wan was completely confused at first, but after hearing what Miss Zhang San said, she finally understood. She immediately said angrily, "Sister You, who is so mean as to ruin your reputation? Tell me quickly, and I'll let my eldest brother help you vent your anger."
"It's just a small matter, there's no need to trouble your brother!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
"This is no small matter!" Huo Wanmei said with her eyes wide open and an angry look on her face.
"Miss Meng is coming!" Miss He Er saw Meng Luoyi and reminded her.
"Okay, look, the master is here. Let's talk about this later!" Yuan Ziyu signaled Huo Wan to stop, and saw two girls walking towards here with their maids, but it was not clear which one was the master of the Meng Mansion.
Meng Luoyi was very angry at this moment. She was organizing a flower viewing banquet, but she actually invited such a person with a bad reputation. However, the banquet was about to begin, and she was not sure about the authenticity of those rumors, so she couldn't directly refuse Yuan Ziyu from coming.
Otherwise, if it was confirmed that those were just rumors, she would have offended General Yuan on behalf of her father, a charge she could not bear.
But when he saw Yuan Ziyu at this time, he felt annoyed and secretly annoyed. Yuan Ziyu's father was obviously only a third-rank general protecting the country, so why did the emperor directly appoint him as a first-rank general defending the country?
If I were just a second-rank general, why would I have such worries?
Although he was impatient in his heart, he still had to put on an act for the sake of face. After all, this was the Meng Mansion.
"Sister Yuan, this is the eldest daughter of the Meng family, Meng Luoyi!" Miss He Er pointed at Meng Luoyi and introduced her to Yuan Ziyu with a smile. She then introduced the girl next to her, "This is Miss Zhao Wu, Zhao Yuhan, from the family of the Minister of Personnel."
After that, he introduced Yuan Ziyou to Meng Luoyi and Zhao Yuhan: "Ms. Meng, Miss Zhao Wu, this is Miss Yuan Ziyou, the second Miss of General Yuan's Mansion."
Then, he pointed at Huo Wan and said, "This is Miss Huo Eighth from the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. I think you two are familiar with her."
"Of course I'm familiar with Miss Huo Ba!" Meng Luoyi smiled gently, looked at Yuan Ziyu, and said with a smile: "I've always heard of Miss Yuan Er, but never had the chance to meet her. Today I finally see her!"
"I've also heard of Miss Meng's talent!" Yuan Ziyu smiled. "But I wonder what kind of reputation Miss Meng has heard of me?"
Yuan Ziyu had a smile on her face, but she clearly saw the flash of disgust in Meng Luoyi's eyes when she came over just now.
Meng Luoyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed and said, "Miss Yuan Er, you're joking. She won the Moxiang Order during the Lantern Festival and bravely fought against the villains. She is both wise and brave. She also owns a pastry shop that was awarded a plaque by the Empress Dowager. All of this makes Luoyi envious!"
"Oh!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "I misunderstood Miss Meng. I thought she had heard the rumors about me these past two days!"
"No way, how can you believe those rumors? Miss Yuan Er, please don't take them to heart!" Meng Luoyi forced a smile.
"Of course I won't take it to heart!" Yuan Ziyu glanced at something out of the corner of his eye and said with a smile: "If I knew who spread these rumors, my fists, kicks and whips are not vegetarians. Why take it to heart and wrong yourself!"
Meng Luoyi was disdainful in her heart, spitting on Yuan Ziyu as the daughter of a warrior, but she smiled and said, "Second Miss Yuan is indeed open-minded!"
After a few more pleasantries, a maid came to report that another noble lady had arrived. Meng Luoyi smiled and said goodbye, then left with Zhao Yuhan.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. It's Miss Yuan Er!" Just as Meng Luoyi left, Liu Xueqing came over with Chen Yao and said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile, "Miss Yuan Er, if I were you, I would stay in the mansion and not dare to come out. What are you going to do out? Do you want people to laugh at you?"
"Really?" Yuan Ziyou smiled. "What a pity, you're not me! Besides, I'm upright and honest, so why should I be afraid of what others say?"
"Hmph!" Chen Yao snorted coldly, "No fly would bite an egg without a crack. Miss Yuan Er, you know best what's going on, right? But don't pretend to be so noble anymore. You're really disgusting..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yao was slapped in the face.
Chen Yao covered her face with her hands, staring at Yuan Ziyu in disbelief with wide eyes: "You...you hit me?"
"Your mouth stinks! How can you get rid of the stink without a beating?" Yuan Ziyu snorted coldly, then looked at Liu Xueqing and said, "Miss Liu San, I hope you won't forget what I said and don't provoke me. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson. As for this rumor, I'm afraid you know more about it than I do, right?"
"Hmph!" Liu Xueqing snorted coldly when she thought of Yuan Ziyu's whip that day, and said to Chen Yao, "Let's go!"
Chen Yao was slapped, but she didn't dare to slap back. Seeing Liu Xueqing say this, she had no choice but to follow Liu Xueqing with grievance.
Miss He and the others looked at Yuan Ziyu in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Could it be her?"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but now I am sure!"
Huo Wan glared at Liu Xueqing's back: "What a mean person!"
Over there, Liu Xueqing avoided the others and asked Chen Yao in a low voice, "Did you complete everything?"
"Of course!" Chen Yao said hurriedly: "No one noticed, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"But as for Ruying..." Chen Yao looked at Liu Xueqing carefully and said nothing.
Liu Xueqing's face was uncertain, and after a while she said, "She doesn't dare to say it, don't worry, you just need to do your job well!"
"good!"
Liu Xueqing said bitterly again: "Humph, Fang Ruying, don't even think about staying by my side anymore, you damn bitch!"
